Calmer Now . . .

Things have quietened down a bit in Baton Rouge.  Seems as though this was a lone wolf determined to do his worst.  Makes me wonder did he have suicide in the back of his mind.  Surely, he must have known that there would be armed response and that he may not survive is activities.

He seemed to have no regard for killing policemen at all.  Sort of stand and fire.  He stood, he fired and then he died.  I wish the story would end there but there are families on both sides of this equation who do not have a clue as to why and what for.  It is truly senseless, It produced nothing but hate.

He took his actions one step further than the assassin in Dallas who was only shooting white cops.  He just shot cops, one of which was black.  So he just killed indiscriminately.  It makes no sense except that it was an attack on authority, police authority.  What a terrible waste to die for.  He will go down as a footnote in time of a era of racial tension caused by the present Federal Administration.

We do not need a war on cops.  They are doing their jobs to support and protect.  Let them be and support them.  They have deal with the bottom of the barrel all the time.  That is hard enough.

I hope calm and sensibility returns to our streets.  We have to deal with ISIS, we do not need to be dealing with our own citizens in an insurrection.
